I second this suggestion. cronie upstream isn't dead at all. cronie
is a drop-in unlike fcron which was favored earlier.
Is it such a drop-in like the new dcron when dcron upstream was adopted
by this Arch user?
Better look at the features and the use cases (don't only think of some
24/7 servers, but also think of the desktop users) and not at some small
differences in the crontab syntax. It's definitely not such a big work
to re-adjust a few crontab entries if this is necessary at all. And this
work has to be done only once and can probably be done with sed.
i think you are not understanding the process.
if cronie is moved in core, it won't have a replaces=dcron. Only new
installations will get cronie by default instead of dcron.
